More and more wind farms are being built in the waters around Europe, Asia, and soon in the USA. But as more wind plants are built, there's a chance that they will start to change the wind conditions locally. The new X-Wakes project will investigate how the wind conditions in the German Bight might change with large-scale expansion of offshore wind farms.
